Holiday Giving Programs

The Family-To-Family Holiday Program

The Family-To-Family Holiday Program in its 40th year, serves low-income families and individuals who are clients of our Child Protection, Adolescent, Adult Protection (elderly and disabled adults) programs, and our basic needs families. We hope you will join our effort to brighten the lives of county residents who will otherwise do without this holiday season. Last year we served over 375 families (totaling more than 1,250 individuals). The BCHC is the non-profit 501 ( c ) 3 organization that serves as the umbrella agency for the Casa de la Esperanza, Family Self-Sufficiency, Family & Children Services and the Family-to-Family Holiday Gift programs.

Our motto, “Hope for the future, Help when you need it” symbolizes our efforts to place individual empowerment, family self-sufficiency and safety at the forefront of all our work. We are using every opportunity to form partnerships with families by giving them the primary voice in decisions affecting their lives. We know that support combined with empowerment fosters self-sufficiency. With that in mind, we are asking you to support low-income clients by making a donation so they can receive gift cards this holiday season. These parents will relish the opportunity to purchase presents for their own children, and Teens and disabled or elderly adult clients will have an opportunity to shop for themselves.

Donors can use the sum of $50 per person to gauge the maximum number of people to support.

We couldn’t do this without you, and we need your support now. The Family-To-Family Program brings tremendous joy to the people we serve. It allows a low-income mother to give her two young children the gifts she knows they’ve been wishing for this season. The program helps struggling parents light up their kids’ faces during the holidays. It captures the spirit of hope and help each holiday season. And you are at the heart of this program.
